Going to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park (Wild Animal Park) is the quickest way to take
an African safari. Ride the one hour Africa Tram Safari, where
you'll see herds of elephants, rhinos, giraffes, zebras and antelopes. Keep
your eyes peeled for the big horn sheep hopping on the rocks or and you
can't miss those huge black-winged vultures with pink bald heads. |

At Lorikeet Landing, buy nectar and these colorful
birds will land on your hand! (Who can resist photos?) Little kids will
enjoy the Petting Kraal (petting zoo) and play area. Don't miss the elephant and bird shows. |

The Safari Park also breeds the highly endangered California
condor (chicks were originally fed with hand puppets); when the condors
are big enough, they are released back into the wild. To see the condors,
visit Condor Ridge. |
